educational  assistance 

OFFERD  BY  THE 

KIRKSVILLE  STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL 
OUTSIDE  ITS  CAMPUS 


Enterd  as  second  class  mail  matter  April  29,  1915,  at  the  post  office  at  Kirksville,  Missouri, 
under  the  Act  of  Congress  of  August  24,  1912. 


INTRODUCTION 


The  Kirksville  State  Normal  School,  wishing  to  be  of  assist- 
ance to  the  schools  of  Missouri  in  as  many  ways  as  possible,  issues 
this  bulletin  to  call  attention  to  the  varied  educational  aids  offerd 
by  it,  outside  its  campus. 

Tho  these  aids  are  intended  primarily  for  the  schools  of  the 
First  District,  they  are  tenderd,  on  the  same  terms,  to  any  school 
in  the  state. 

The  following  list  indicates  the  nature  of  the  services  offerd 
and  the  order  in  which  they  are  discust : 

1.  Lantern  Slides. 

2.  Motion  Picture  Films. 

3.  Correspondence  and  Extension  Courses. 

4.  Dramatics. 

5.  Camp  Fires. 

6.  Musical  Programs. 

7.  Debates. 

8.  Library  Books. 

9.  Lectures  given  by  Members  of  the  Faculty. 

LANTERN  SLIDES 

Not  all  subjects  lend  themselvs  with  equal  facility  to  illus- 
tration by  pictures,  but  in  the  teaching  of  History,  Literature, 
and  Science,  pictures  have  come  to  be  an  indispensable  aid.  The 
Normal  School  has  prepared  in  its  photography  laboratory  a 
number  of  slides  which  it  will  lend  to  other  schools. 

No  charges  are  made  for  the  use  of  the  slides,  but  the  school 
borrowing  must  pay  all  transportation  charges,  and  also  pay  for 
breakage  at  the  rate  of  25  cents  per  slide.  The  Normal  School 
will  send  the  slides  packt  in  a suitable  case,  so  that  with  ordinary 
care  there  will  be  no  danger  of  breakage.  Breakage  is  more  likely 
to  be  caused  from  heat  when  the  slide  is  left  in  the  lantern  too 
long,  or  from  carelessness  in  handling.  The  slides  will  always 
be  accompanied  with  printed  instructions  on  how  to  use  them. 
Slides  may  be  kept  one  week  from  date  of  receipt  to  date  of  start- 
ing them  on  the  return  trip,  unless  otherwise  specified  at  the  time 
of  the  loan.

A general  idea  of  the  field  coverd  by  the  slides  may  be  obtained 
from  the  subjects  printed  below.  If  any  further  information  is 
desired,  inquiries  should  be  addrest  to  the  members  of  the  faculty 
whose  names  appear  after  each  departmental  list.  Requests  for 
loans  should  likewise  be  made  to  these  faculty  members.

EXTENSION  DEPARTMENT 

The  Kirksville  State  Normal  School  offers  facilities  for  exten- 
sion work  in  three  ways:  (1)  Correspondence  Courses;  (2)  Ex- 
tension Courses;  (3)  Reading  Circle  Courses.  An  extension  de- 
partment bulletin  is  issued  sometime  during  the  summer  quarter 
of  each  year  announcing  the  subjects  that  will  be  offerd  for  corre- 
pondence,  extension  work,  and  reading  circle  course  during  the 
ensuing  school  year,  and  also  stating  the  rules  and  regulations 
concerning  these  forms  of  work.  Those  who  may  be  interested 
in  undertaking  correspondence  or  extension  courses,  should  write 
for  a copy  of  this  bulletin.  Those  enrolling  in  these  courses  are 
expected  to  purchase  the  textbooks  that  are  used,  but  reference 
books  are  sent  to  them  from  the  library  from  time  to  time  as  the 
work  requires. 


FIELD  WORK  OF  THE  DRAMATIC  CLUB 

For  two  years  the  Dramatic  Club  has  stood  ready  to  be  of 
service  in  the  field.  In  the  year  1914-15  it  made  a small  beginning 
with  the  play  “Back  to  the  Farm,”  a comedy  propagating  the 
sentiment  of  its  title.  This  play  was  given  twice  outside  Kirks- 
ville. 

During  1915-16  “A  Little  Child  Shall  Lead  Them”,  a play 
written  by  Stephen  Blackhurst  in  an  advanced  English  Composi- 
tion class  in  this  Normal  School,  has  been  many  times  presented 
thruout  this  Normal  School  district.  This  play  features  consolida- 
tion, and  its  presentation  has  helpt  to  win  several  consolidation 
elections.  The  cast  is  still  intact  and  will  be  kept  so  during  the 
year  1916-17,  in  order  to  be  of  further  service. 

A new  rural  life  play  will  be  written  during  the  summer 
quarter  of  1916,  to  be  produced  for  the  first  time  at  the  coming 
Rural  Life  Conference.  This  play  will  also  be  available  for 
field  work. 

“A  Little  Child  Shall  Lead  Them”  has  been  publisht  in  bulle- 
tin form.  The  new  play  will  be  similarly  issued.  Information 
as  to  securing  either  bulletin  or  booking  either  play  may  be  had 
by  writing  Mr.  C.  M.  Wise. 

CAMP  FIRES 

One  of  the  activities  invaluable  for  Camp  Fire  Girls  is  that 
of  dramatic  work,  the  life  around  the  camp  fire  lending  itself 
well  for  either  spontaneous  or  traind  dramatization.  The  program 
can  be  so  pland  that  the  ordinary  Camp  Fire  activities  play^a 
prominent  part. 

With  the  idea  of,  not  only  providing  an  outlet  for  the  girls7 
dramatic  interest,  but  also  of  showing  what  can  be  done  with  a 
group  of  girls  enthusiastic  over  Camp  Fire  work,  the  Keouk  Camp 
Fire  of  the  Kirks ville  State  Normal  School  has  arranged  an  even- 
ing’s program  consisting  of  Indian  songs,  dances,  and  a one-act 
play. 

The  play,  “Glory  of  the  Morning,”  which  is  from  the  reper- 
tory of  the  Wisconsin  Dramatic  Society,  is  typically  Indian  in 


10 


setting,  character,  and  plot.  Altho  highly  dramatic,  it  requires 
only  five  persons,  an  Indian  Chief,  a squaw,  two  children,  and  a 
French  trader. 

The  Camp  Fire  with  a cast  of  ten  girls  can  provide  an  evening’s 
entertainment  of  songs,  dances,  the  play,  and  its  own  orchestra  of 
stringed  instruments.  For  further  information  address  Miss 
Blanche  F.  Emery. 


THE  PEACE  PAGEANT 

The  Department  of  Rural  Education  still  has  on  hands  a 
number  of  copies  of  the  Rural  School  Messenger  containing  the 
Peace  Pageant,  and  these  copies  will  be  given  to  schools  that  wish 
to  present  the  pageant. 

The  Practice  School  has  the  costumes  which  it  used  last 
summer  in  presenting  the  pageant  and  will  lend  these  to  other 
schools.  For  copies  of  the  Pageant  address  Mr.  Mark  Burrows, 
and  for  costumes  address  Miss  Susie  Barnes.

rural  community  clubs,  amateur  stage  directors,  etc.,  to  obtain 
help  from  us  in  the  form  of  suggestions,  conferences,  and  sometimes 
material.  Of  material  there  is  relativly  little  in  our  possession 
which  can  be  loand;  but  we  are  able  to  put  interested  persons  in 
touch  with  reliable  sources  where  almost  anything  in  print  can  be 
obtaind  at  reasonable  rates.  It  is  difficult,  however,  to  give 
assistance  without  adequate  notice  of  what  is  contemplated. 
Write  or  call  by  Long  Distance  Telephone,  Mr.  Ralph  Noyer,
